Fixing the Flaw in Photosynthesis
Although photosynthesis is the most important process on earth, the most common form of photosynthesis can be quite inefficient in some regions. C4 photosynthesis is a wonderful way of mitigating the negative aspects of C3 photosynthesis. But how does it work and what does it mean for a warming world?
